I discovered this little gem in the public library and had to have my own copy. Full of fun and fascinating tidbit about Roald Dahl and his books; knowing more about the author makes his books even more enjoyable.
This is a great review of Dahl's life and career in a really fun format that will make it fun for kids. By making it an "alphabet book" his life and times are peppered with bits from his books, funny words he invented, and lots of great illustration from Blake. I've been reading it just a bit at a time in order to savor it, because it's worth it. This is a must have for Dahl fans of any age.
i loved the book because i learned a lot and i liked how it wasn't paragraph after paragraph and it was just plain facts. very organized.
A fun way to learn about his private life as well as his personal likes and dislikes. Cute. For youngsters.
